College student crime

Posted

In reference to the Domino’s employee attacked and robbed, let me guess, the perpetrators are SUNY Canton students recruited to the college by the administration probably with a free ride from New York City so the college can boast about diversity and growth. Bringing in students from the city by the busload has ruined the rural North Country atmosphere on campus and negatively affected the crime rate in the community. North Country college kids may party and have fun but they don’t attack and rob the pizza man or form gangs that assault and stab other students. As an alumni of SUNY Canton, I get annual requests for donations and I always decline to give a dime. My children didn’t receive any tuition assistance to attend SUNY but busloads of New York City kids do. So no thanks, I don’t want to be partly responsible for bringing crime to the area. My last point is that most folks that live in the North Country live here because they enjoy the area for many reasons including low crime. If we wanted to live in a city with all of its benefits of a diverse population but where it is not safe to walk the streets or deliver a pizza we would move.
